Dimitar

Taking lessons since over a year now. Never a dull moment, engaging lessons and I always feel encouraged to learn and speak more. Super grateful to have found such a dedicated and positive, fun teacher. Looking forward to another year of lessons :)

Dimitar is an expert language teacher and I feel lucky to have found him. He is adept at carrying on improvisational conversations that maintain about 80% known vs 20% new material and also has prepared many well-design lessons, which he attentively, patiently, and carefully guides me through. He also provides homework includes pre-made flash cards with personalized audio recordings to ensure I have more than sufficient reference and training material for my own practice time.

I have been learning Bulgarian with Dimitar for three years. Thanks to the competence of the teacher, I have reached from A2 to B2\С1 level. I can now read any texts, watch films, listen to difficult lectures, conference papers etc. I communicate freely on any subject. Why did I stay for 3 years with this teacher? Because he: - is prepared for class (maybe this should be obvious, but I have had many language teachers and this is not always the case). - adapts to the needs of the student and selects materials with this in mind. He is flexible and does not push only one line e.g. by teaching from a boring textbook detached from the linguistic purity. - uses a variety of methods, techniques and didactic means - is punctual and conducts a lively lesson - is familiar with several foreign languages and thus knows how to work on errors due to language transfer - enjoys his mother tongue and the culture of his country and knows how to interest a foreigner in his country and language!

Dimitar is an outstanding teacher. Nothing to add.

I am coming off a sickness, so I was not on my game mentally, but Dimitar was! He has some lessons lined up and activities to do to get me talking. It was a great experience.

Dimitar directed the conversation to an improvisational exercise, which was not only fun but challenging to my language level. It brought up words I don't remember, and it was a really good exercise.
